We did this is all of my classes and I was impressed with what the students accomplished. I hope to make this approach, and these tools, a regular class activity to direct students to learn something about Computer Science.

Thank you for supporting computer science and making the Hour of Code an amazing success. In 2 weeks, 20 million students worldwide learned an Hour of Code, including 1 in 4 U.S. students, and half were girls! Have you tried it?

“I have NEVER, EVER seen my students so excited about learning” (teacher)

Before New Year’sAs you relax and gather with family over the holidays, challenge yourself to try an Hour of Code before the new year. Learn the basics, or help your children. And start your new year knowing more computer science than you do today. It’s foundational knowledge for everyone in the 21st century.

Since last week, the biggest question we’re hearing from participants is, “what can I do now?”

Here are a few ways to keep learning and supporting computer science:

1) Tell Congress that you support the Computer Science Education ActIt will make a big difference in giving students access to computer science in U.S. schools. Ask your representatives to support it too, here.
